How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, “Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs Elizabeth Gilbert writes, Robin Wall Kimmerer is “a great teacher, and her words are a hymn of love to the world.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Serviceberry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is an antidote to the broken relationships and misguided goals of our times, and a reminder that “hoarding won’t save us, all flourishing is mutual.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobin Wall Kimmerer is donating her advance payments from this book as a reciprocal gift, back to the land, for land protection, restoration, and justice.\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover Paper over boards","offer_id":50100559151401,"sku":"9781668072240","price":420.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/9420\/7529\/files\/9781668072240_0eb3d.jpg?v=1743097372","url":"https:\/\/www.bookup.com.mx\/products\/the-serviceberry-abundance-and-reciprocity-in-the-natural-world","provider":"BOOKUPMX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
